Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is an initial review, can't comment on durability/longevity as I've only had the unit 24 hours. I'll update it if problems crop up. Functionally so far, it's excellent. Very nice and bright screen, snappy response. Of particular note: GPS. Several people here have asked if it has a GPS chip, and the answers given were not confidence inspiring. Like many perhaps, one of my primary uses of this device is for navigation - specifically, offline navigation with downloaded maps. An embedded GPS chip is mandatory for this - estimated locations via wifi are useless for this task. Further, Samsung's web site doesn't mention anything about GPS for this model. Many of their models do have it, and that capability is listed in their tech specs. Other reviews elsewhere indicate it does, so...I rolled the dice and ordered it. The good news is, it absolutely has a GPS chip. I'm using this device with Osmand+ (awesome app), which uses offline maps. I get a very fast, solid and accurate GPS lock with this device - and I'm 100% certain it's not estimating location via wifi, as it works with wifi turned off. Even way out in the boonies, it's providing spot-on accuracy on moving maps as well as recording extremely accurate GPX tracks. If you're looking for a backwoods navigation device, you'll be hard pressed to find something better at this price point.
